Take a [Nap], Lose Weight

My mother often clips out articles that she thinks I should read and mails them to me.  Sometimes they are "not so interesting" but one in particular caught my eye.

The title of the article is..."Take a Nap, Lose Weight!"

It talks about how skinner people on average sleep more! The study was done at Eastern Medical School and found that thin people sleep on average 2 hours a week more than overweight people.  People that sleep less have higher level of an appetite-boosting hormone, ghrelin.  So sleep an extra 17 minutes a day (2 hours more a week) and see if you see a difference!

Who knew losing weight could be so easy!
